Nominations Committee
The Nominations Committee reviews the composition of, and succession to the Board, within agreed Terms of Reference, and recommends to the Board appointments of Executive and Non-executive Directors following a formal and rigorous review process. This involves an ongoing assessment of the overall balance and performance of the Board and its individual members ensuring a strong executive and independent non-executive team. This takes accounts of existing and proposed corporate governance requirements and emerging best practice.

The Committee in particular considers the experience and skills of individuals who may be suitable as Directors.

Members of the Committee abstain when matters affecting their own appointments are discussed. The Committee is authorised to engage the services of external advisors as it deems necessary at the Company's expense in order to carry out its function.

The Committee is chaired by Clive Butler (Senior Independent Director). The other members are Richard Lapthorne (Chairman of Cable and Wireless plc), Kate Nealon (Chair of the Remuneration Committee) and Kasper Rorsted (Chairman of the Audit Committee).
